The total amount to be awarded to the City of Santa <br />Ana for Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth Programs is $3,320,270. A <br />planning figure of $2,316,140 was included in the City Council approved <br />2006-07 City budget. Council approved an appropriation adjustment for <br />$166,930 recognizing the additional funding for the Youth program on June <br />9, 2006. This new appropriation adjustment will increase the budget for <br />the WIA Adult program by $349,275, the WIA Dislocated Worker program by <br />$205,245 and the WIA Youth program by an additional $198,960. WIA <br />regulations allow ten percent of the grant to be used for administration. <br />Therefore, an additional $10,000 will be allocated to the One Stop <br />administration budget and $73,720 will be allocated to the WIB <br />administration budget. <br />These program funds will be used to provide additional training, <br />supportive services and assessment for the eligible residents of Santa <br />Ana as well as those who are affected by layoffs from Santa Ana <br />businesses. The administrative funds will be used to cover the expenses <br />of the Workforce Investment Board and the One Stop Administrative staff. <br />As a result of the increase in the Youth funds and the need for <br />additional oversight of the Youth program, a previously unfunded <br />Workforce Specialist I position will be funded and filled during the <br />remaining six months of the 2006-07 fiscal year. <br />20A-1 <br />
